I thought I'd start a spot where we can all list what pages we are going to do. If we don't know she may end up with a lot of the same thing. She scraps - I am told - 12x12
I have a love affair with kits so I went to my stash and pulled these. I should be able to have them done by Saturday evening. It's much easier when I don't have to choose pictures. I'll be including photo mats but not putting them in place as I don't know what size or configurations she may have.
Oh - and I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes but I'm headed out to work and wanted to get this out there.
 
I've added a spot here where we can see who is doing what type of layout. You can either add yours to the end of this thread or Message me and I'll add you on the list.
List updated - Wednesday morning - 5-16-18

How about this? We can list here sort of generic type themes to scrap. I'll start -
Boys - general "all about boys" - "boys will be boys" - "brothers"
School - general school type layouts - once we know the age of the boys we would know if they should be cute or more grown up
Family
Birthday
Valentine's Day
Summer
Sports - we would need to know if they are on teams or like a particular sport

I will do whatever is needed, generic or specific.
I don't want to bug her with questions, but do we have a sense of her style? Preferred colors or motifs? Should we try to make what we produce coordinate with what she has already done, or just send our efforts and she and her family choose what works best?

I'll be doing a Family layout that is quite generic with a "this is us" title. Like chendra, I'm wondering whether anyone knows if Donna has particular tastes in terms of colours, design elements or even number of photos used per layout? |

I saw jenjie said that Donna was favorable on us doing layouts, but has size of layout or themes been discussed? Thank you! 😊 I asked her those questions and she is going to get back to me. I think OP’s idea is a good one so she has a nice variety of pages instead of all the same. But yes, it might be best to wait til she gets back to us. I will let you guys know as soon as I get an answer from Donna. 😊 |

gramma , that's a great idea - to use my page kits rather than start from scratch. I can do that

I can definitely help. I have boys so have quite a collection of boy "themed" stuff. I also have a lot of stuff for every day moments.

Just a tip, Donna really likes Scrapbook Generation kits and sketches. We have chatted about shopping there. They offer many free sketches, too, if anyone is looking for a little direction.

I read she had hoped to get her sons baby books scrapped, so I'm going to do a baby spread for each boy and what ever sleepingbooty sends me to do for her. |

I went through what's left in my baby box. I'm going to do a baby boy page, a little boy page and a brothers page.

gramma if you can add to OP- Donna scraps 12x12 one or two page spreads are fine her boys are adults but "Age range they could work on is about 6 months to about 10 years." Thanks everyone!

I think I would do general. Maybe a title "Kindergarten" and include a separate tag for "first day". She may not have first day pictures but if she does she can add the tag |

I'll just add some additional info I got from Donna when I sent her some layouts recently. She said she would be scrapping older pictures from when her boys were little. Her pictures are horizontal. She requested one page layouts for one or two horizontal pictures or two page layouts for 4 or 5 horizontal pictures. I sent one 12x12 two page layout using SS Snap Life. It's kind of neutral themed. I also sent a one page 12x12 layout for two pictures using a SS summer theme. I don't have hardly any boy themed or masculine supplies so I figured those could work for boy or family pictures. I didn't want to be too specific because what if she already scrapped a specific topic?

I will do some birthday pages. I have some cute Pebbles birthday paper that is good for boy layouts, and is pretty generic age wise.
When should we send them by, just to give me an idea of how much time I have.

Marking my place. I would really like to participate and send some layouts to Donna. I don't have much boy stuff but a lot of neutral items or things that would be good for family layouts. Glad to know she has horizontal photos. I guess the easiest way to do this would be to leave blank photo mats 1/8" larger than standard size photos so all she has to do is stick the pictures down. I have just moved and haven't unpacked most of my scrapping stuff yet. So hopefully the deadline will be a couple of weeks away at least. |
